She dropped the case “without prejudice” meaning she could refile the claims at a later date. The decision to end the battle is interesting given Beador had yet to serve Facebook.

Over the past couple of years, Beador has been in and out of court in various lawsuits. She was sued by Alexis Bellino's ex-husband Jim who accused her of defaming him with statements she made on Heather McDonald's podcast with Tamra Judge.

Beador denied defaming Bellino claiming his reputation was already tarnished. She said nothing she said caused him damages. The judge presiding over the case agreed and awarded the RHOC star $136k in attorney fees.

Earlier this year, Beador also had to go back to divorce court to fight her ex-husband David. She claimed he was attempting to block their daughters from filming Real Housewives of Orange County. He didn't deny the claim saying he feared she would bring up his new wife and family on the show. David said he wanted no part of the TV drama.
